higher education for students is critical. without a secondary education degree, students don't have the same advantages that others do. in current times, having a good quality education is everything. >> coming out of colleges and getting into the work force, the one complaint we hear over and over is they don't get enough students after graduating college that are ready to take on a job, that they don't have the skills needed. that's why as leaders in government, we need to make sure that our priorities are focused on education. it is the most important thing that state government does. >> one of the things haunting me now is we have 10% unemployment rate. there are three million jobs available in the united states of america that are not filled because of a skills mismatch. that's the kind of thing that we should be working on, on a micro level right now. >> the economic link to education is strong. we know educated people significantly more money. depending on their educational attainment we know unemployment decreases and
